  Culinary Esquire – The B/CS Food CriticFIRST IMPRESSION: First let me tell you, it’s not a bar, it’s a restaurant. Walking in is like crossing through time into a ren-fest periodic atmosphere. There’s no waiting to be seated, you can seat yourself and nearly all the tables are roomy enough to seat larger parties. It was well lit, which I appreciated so I can see the food I’m being served. It was busy but that didn’t impact the level of service. COURTESY: Pretzel pieces with mustard were brought to our table as we looked over the menu. Our server however kept forgetting to bring it to us initially. DRINKS: There is a large selection of beers to choose from and they even offer light beer which is a half and half mix of beer and sprite, coke, etc. I was highly impressed with the fact that the drink ware was period appropriate and you could even pay extra to be able to take the glass home with you. APPETIZER: We started off by ordering the Bavarian Sampler with lightly battered pork nuggets (more like strips), meat balls (in a flavorful brown gravy sauce – not like the brown gravy packets/mix from the grocery store), onion rings, homemade potato salad (base is mostly a mustard flavor), garnished with pickled carrots and red cabbage. MEAL: For the meal, I ordered the veal Schnitzel Heaven and Hell which was very tasty with both a cream sauce (similar to an alfredo if I had to compare it to something) and a spicy paprika sauce (tasted something like a hot dog chili but it worked). In the future, I would have the sauce served on the side so that it doesn’t make the schnitzel soggy. It was served with spatzle (Bavarian noodles – didn’t seem to be made to order) and garnished with the pickled carrots and red cabbage. In addition, I ordered a side of fries which were garnished nicely, adding a bit of color. We saw potato wedges come out of the kitchen and although we didn’t order any, they looked delicious. We also found out that on Mondays they have all you can eat schnitzel for about $14. DESSERT: Another thing we saw come out of the kitchen looked so good that we had to stop the server to ask about it. It was an off menu special that they called Bavarian Cream. It was a simple dish, just a white fluffy mound of what looked like cool whip, topped with a berry drizzle mash. The taste was nothing like cool whip, it was better! It was a creamy, melt in your mouth cream that wasn’t too sweet and yet so flavorful. The berry drizzle mash seemed to have raspberries, strawberry’s and blueberries in it and was the perfect compliment of flavors. Easily the best dessert I’ve had from any restaurant. Upon talking more to our server about it we found out that the reason it’s a special and not always on the menu is because the ingredients used to make it are imported. This was pretty impressive. OVERALL: We will definitely be going back. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, even with our endless questions. The food was great and while it’s hard to say what my favorite was, the dessert really stole the show! 5Atmosphere (memorable)5Price (worth it)4Food (taste, quality, freshness, flavor and distinctness) 4 (everyone was nice, not just our server but others also) 5Critics choice (we would come again) TOTAL = 23OVERALL CE ScoreGAMBLE OUTCOME: LOSEWe always say that trying new places is like a gamble, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This was definitely a win! ABOUT THIS RATING:To give our rating the most objective weight we use 5 areas to score the restaurant: atmosphere, price, food, service and critic’s choice.

  My husband and ate there on a Saturday night at 7:00 pm. Because I lived in Germany for many years, I can sometimes be critical of German food, but the service was excellent and the food was delicious. We plan to visit again when in the Bryan area.

  The Crepes and Bratwurst Man. Went there for my birthday and along with some extremely good bratwurst, the waiter gave me some free crepes since it was my birthday (which tasted so good!).
